It appears that you've switched your dates from ColumnA to ColumnB in your
two examples.

Anyway, try this:

Dates in ColumnA, from A3 to A100.
Values in ColumnB, from B3 to B100

Column headers in A2 and B2.

Enter the specific start date in A1,
And the value to find (count) in B1.

Then, try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A100A1)*(B3:B100=B1))

Sorry I was wrong in the last email if I was looking for A=1 and b11/30/04

a b
1 12/30/04
1 11/15/04
1 12/15/04
2 12/1/04

With this my answer would be 2

Hi,
Try this...
a b
1 1/1/2005 1
2 1/3/2005 2
3 1/6/2005 3

4 1/7/05 {=SUM(IF(a4aD1:a3,b1:b3))} this will
return a 6

make sure to use the cntl shift enter combination after
writing the formula.

In column A are dates
In column B are values (1, 2, 3)
I want to look at A for a date greater than a specific
date then match to B
for a specific number and count as 1 if they match

if A 11/30/04 and B = 1 then count as 1
If I have 5 rows that fit the criteria then the answer
would be 5.

Please help with the formula, I have tried countif and
nested in countif.

Thanks
